Do you think most married guys can keep it in check when they flirt with women?

Question

If the married male coworker emails a woman every day, but only remotely flirty emails with one woman, with rare visits, can he usually withhold going further with things? Is it leading him on to email back? Is it wrong? Are things safe?

Answer 1

When a person gets too close to one another they begin to like one another, after liking they begin to love one another. So it is not safe at all

Need to be stopped.

Answer 2

  I would say give him encouragement and he will take it as far as you let him,,If he e mails you everyday he is certainly looking for something,,

Answer 3

if he's flirting, then he's not "keeping it in check".  

i'll keep HIM in check if that happens.  my husband doesn't disrespect me like that.  i give him the same.

Answer 4

Yes we can. Flirting emails always lead to something. you may need to keep and eye on this. I'm, married. And how I see things is always vice versa. Put yourself in his shoes. And ask your husband the question your telling me. How would he feel. If he feels it's wrong than there you go. Tell him to stop. If he can't then divorce him because infidelity is coming your way.

Answer 5

Sometimes they (married guys) are just trying their luck and seeing how far they get. If you seem ok with it, he could up the anti a little & see how you go with that...

Dunno, it is a bit sad to be that kind of 'excitement' in someone's life. I'd save my flirting for someone else if I were you.

Answer 6

If she gives him an indication that something could happen, it most certainly could.  He is flirting with dangerous ground.  That is how married men and women end up in trouble.

Answer 7

Yea a guy can, heck i flirt with lots of women when my wife isn't around.  Nothing ever comes of it, and nothing ever will.  

Answer 8

well its not really wrong (from the guys point of view) cuz its not like he will ever do anything just a flirt just to see if he still got it

Answer 9

I flirt all the time but i have NO intentions of having ANYTHING with the women i flirt with.  For me it's just fun and passes the time when i'm at work.  My wife is a perfect goddess and there's not a woman in the world who could make me cheat or stray from my wife...i don't care how fine they are or 'fun' they are flirting with..seriously....and i tell my wife i flirt..and she flirts with guys too...we trust each other thoroughly because we're obsessed with each other....so that whole worrying about talkin to the opposite s*x doesn't bother us at all, because we know where our pants and our unconditional love lie....with each other.

Now say in this question YOU were the one emailing this guy...it really depends on the guy...cause there are a lot of sleezebags for dudes that if you flirted with him by email like that eventually he'll heave under pressure and what something more...depending on the severity of the 'flirting.'  But there are those few such as myself who can do that and not really care to make it into anything.  It's really acting....which i suppose i should feel bad about it cause if THEY start getting attracted and caught in the flirting then i MYSELF pretty much llead them on and then i have to make them feel bad when i tell them there's no way in h**l i'm leaving or cheating on my wife for them.  But then again I really don't flirt so much that it'd get to 'that point'....it's most of the time stupid joking around.

Answer 10

I can't speak for most married men, but I've been known to flirt with women.  I've never taken it past that, and would never do anything to hurt my wife.  That's not to say she's comfortable with it entirely, but knows I won't do anything more than that.  Besides, if he can't keep it in check, you can.  It would all depend on the man.  I wouldn't read a whole lot into a flirty response email because flirting is fun.  But like I said, I can't speak for most men.
